In this clip above, it shows the first scene of the film, where Bryan gets called out to street race. This film is filled with action packed moments which excites the viewer massively. These films are incredibly exciting and fascinating. The sound which is in this clip is mainly the cars engines; this truly adds to the effect of racing and makes the viewer feel there. Also in the back ground you can hear music which builds it up to have a dramatic finish, and it does. There are many different camera angles in this clip such as close ups, which show the viewer exactly what is happening, there is match on action, when the drivers change gear and use the pedals. There are also extremely good two shots, showing two cars or two drivers which builds up the tension for the viewer. Also establishing wide shots, to show the viewer what is happening in one big picture. Finally the editing in this film and in this clip is brilliant. It really does enable the viewer to believe there in the races to because how realistic they make it. The editing when they use NOS (Nitrous oxide gas) is good because it shows that it speeds up the car even more and this is emphasized by things outside the car going past really quick and also by the drivers being pulled back. Overall this film is great because it will keep the viewer interested due to the quick action of the races and also by the great narrative.
